So this is the democracy?

in the name of pushing Gaddafi from power. Dead civilians are not an issue, its collateral damage, after all they are Arabs, all Osam bin Laden look-alikes, writes Farirai Chubvu.
NATO’s military intervention in Libya was touted as a UN-backed mission to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya, but it has sinced morphed into an attack on civilians and an open pursuit for illegal regime change against Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
Barack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron and their minions have openly called on Gaddafi to step down, ultra vires the dictates of UN Security Council Resolution 1973 that was all about implementing a no-fly zone over Libya.
Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican-SC) said last month: “My recommendation to Nato and the administration is to cut the head of the snake off, go to Tripoli, start bombing Gaddafi’s inner circle, their compounds, their military headquarters in Tripoli”.
Utterances that were echoed by British defence secretary Liam Fox who said Gaddafi should step down or be killed by the Nato alliance.
After meeting senior US commanders on April 26 to draw up a final plan to finish Colonel Gaddafi, British defence secretary Liam Fox warned the Libyan leader and his commanders faced assassination unless they surrendered to the Western coalition.
This is how the British paper, The Daily Mail, put it.
Defence Secretary Liam Fox will meet senior US commanders today to draw up a final plan to FINISH Colonel Gaddafi.
Before flying to Washington last night, Dr Fox warned the “dictator” and his commanders they face assassination unless they give up now.
He said: “If the regime continues to wage war on its people, those who are involved in those command-and-control assets need to recognise that we regard them as legitimate targets.
“Those who are . . . controlling the regime’s activities against its own people, would have to recognise the risks they would have if they were there during Nato strikes.”
He added: “Colonel Gaddafi is the one who is standing in the way of a peaceful resolution in Libya.”
The summit saw Fox and General Sir David Richards, the Chief of the Defence Staff, hold talks with Pentagon chiefs including US Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff.
A day later US bombs flattened Gaddafi’s offices with the US administration denying Tripoli’s claims that the bombing was an assaination attempt.
The British weighed in with claims that bombing Gaddafi’s compound was in line with UN Resolution 1973. So anything can be done in the name of the UN now including an open attempt to assasinate a sitting head of state and government.
Libyan rebels now have offices in Brussels, and pay state visits to some European countries.
The US openly funds the rebels, all in the name of ‘democratisation’.
Banned weapons like depleted uranium and cluster bombs are dropped in residential areas all in the name of pushing Gaddafi from power.
Dead civilians are not an issue, its collateral damage, after all, they are Arabs, all Osama bin Laden look-alikes!
So, there you have it. What began as an alleged enforcement of a no-fly zone to protect civilians has turned into an attack on civilian targets and the Westerners have no qualms declaring their intetion to murder Gaddafi even as they are busy openly siphoning off Libyan oil.
Nato has struck Gaddafi’s residence repeatedly, and in recent days attacked a TV broadcast centre without even a whimper from the African Union or the UN that is supposed to safeguard the world from the scourge of war.
Events unfolding in Libya and the defeaning silence from the AU and the UN have destroyed my faith in the two bodies.
At this rate, the West may as well overrun the entire developing world in a new form of colonial conquest that seeks to depose leaders of non-satellite countries from power in order to integrate their countries unconditionally into the global economy as Western vassal states or banana republics.
What will it take for the African Union to stop the sacrilege in Libya?
Quo vadis African Union?
